John,
Foxview or DM running on your 7.1.1 G Box?
My understanding is that the blinking colors used in the DM palette rely
on some brut force mechanisms to substitute entries in the X color
palette. This is the purpose of the blink task client. (Are you
running a blink task for each remote X device?) =20
Foxview, due to the more modern underpinnings of the SL application,
handle blinking colors with the X app itself.

Subject: [foxboro] Linux Thin Client as G Box Display
Hello all knowing list members,
I have been investigating using the latest linux thin clients in X as DM
HMI displays with telnet. . We are 95% successful in getting the
touchscreens,colors and fonts with NFS working on 6.1.1. What does not
work is blinking colors. All else looks well. I have all but given up on
the blinking. The plan is to move these over to a G box running 7.1.1.
On the G box the fonts will work, but no progress on the colors. I
cannot imagine what would be different. The color pallette has been
brought over, but still no success. Exceed works well on both systems.
I know there has been success in varying degrees on the older systems
with versions on linux What could be different on the G box? The thin
clients should be a benefit based on cost,, simple setup and
maintenance. We are not winning on the simple part.
